Focus On Fitness was founded and established by Louise Boland in 1981. Louise took her hobby of running and turned it into a business. Her love for fitness instilled in her the desire to help others become physically fit. With Louise at the helm, Focus On Fitness is a truly unique owner operated facility.Louise operated her first business by teaching aerobics classes in church basements and school gymnasiums. Along with the demand for her to teach more classes, came the desire to expand. Louise opened her first “studio” (health club) in Ashland in 1987 and expanded it in 1990. Always remaining state of the art, Focus On Fitness was the first club in the area to have a wooden floor for group fitness classes. In 1994 Focus On Fitness was the second club in Massachusetts to offer a Spinning program, and continues with that trend by regularly updating the SPIN bikes with latest equipment. Focus On Fitness took the area by storm and was featured as Metro West’s best health club many times in the following years. Focus On Fitness is located in a 15,000 square foot facility. Its distinctive red, black and white colors brand the first floor location; conveniently in the buildings lower two floors. The club continues to bring the best in health and fitness to its members and the Metro West area. Striving to remain cutting edge in the industry, Louise continues to offer members the latest in programming and equipment. After transitioning to private ownership in 2003, new state of the art Life Fitness treadmills, ellipticals, and strength training circuit were purchased, and are continually upgraded. A very popular Group Power weight lifting program was added in 2006. The class schedule of over 60 classes a week is unique and taught by highly dedicated instructors with many years of teaching experience. Today, Focus On Fitness continues to offer programs that meet the fitness needs of all individuals across a wide range of different fitness levels and interests.
